One group in America, Cubans in FLA, have way too much say in who the president is. There .58% of the US population, but they can swing an important state.

This is also why the needs of the rest of the nation are never addressed. Why we're saddled with massive problems and no real solutions. We've made it easy for politicians to yell, "SOCIALISM", and win an entire state because of it.
